I always assumed that brain function had to line up with cytoarchitectonics. It turns out I was wrong. Human cortex, especially PFC, is tiled by chains of functional patches that subdivide and interlink architectonic areas into parallel processing streams. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Excited to share my first-author paper now out in @natcomms.nature.com (www.nature.com/articles/s41...)! Here, we asked whether verbal narratives about social interactions activate the same brain areas as audiovisual presentations, and whether they overlap with theory of mind (ToM). (1/11)

nature.com

Common and distinct neural correlates of social interaction processing and theory of mind in narratives - Nature Communications

Miao et al. find that recognizing social interactions in third-person narratives engages canonical brain areas subserving theory of mind. Using theory of mind recruits additional areas linked to action understanding.
